Done, done and done. It's getting closer and closer in the meantime - less than half a mile below and rising.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

"Let's rescue the bulk of those remaining," Seira decides, adjusting her divination spell to find the largest concentration of slaves and provide her with distance and direction.

Down a side tunnel and a ways away - about a thousand feet away and twisting down that tunnel.

"After me!" Seira bids her companions, turning into a dragon. She could teleport, but that would require opening the dimensional barriers again and she decides against it, picking the statue in her claw and rushing down the tunnel!

She has a fly speed of 350ft and will run there to cross all the distance in time. Double move and fire leap twice for 820ft if it's not a straight enough line and she can't run.

Anastasia

Woosh! The tunnel isn't straight enough to run, but at least big enough for your draconic form. You burst into flames in long stretches, jetting across them in an instant as you rush. Rush past a retreating efreet, thrown aside by you as you push onward.

Soon enough you come to a barracks of sorts, plain bedding on the ground, no beds but so many places to sleep. Dozens of slaves sit in here, waiting silently.

Knock out that efreet I passed and bring him over, I'm taking them all prisoner, Seira instructs Lagann and Oraga.

She sets the efreet statue down and disables the dimensional protections once more, before announcing, I am Seira Aryn! My friends and I are here to rescue you! Portals open all over, a quiet hum picking up about the space. Go on to the Cauldron and your freedom!

Sonorous Hum and Legion's Gates. Let's get this down in a flash. Also, divination for the next concentration of slaves even as these are in the process of escaping, to see if there's more.

It's easy like this - fast, simple when you have this level of power. Gates erupt out, slaves passing through as you get a reply.

'Easy,' Oraga rumbles back, and as he does? You can sense more down a different shaft - and abruptly, the massive thing beneath you begins to speed up, rocketing upwards.

Corwin

Seira waits a moment for Oraga to arrive, so that they could toss the efreet through and close the gates. In the meanwhile, she estimates where the creature will emerge and how soon, based on current speed.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

You estimate you have two rounds.

Corwin

Seira tosses the statue across, along with her bag of holding. As she waits, she uses more divinations to determine how many groups of captives still exist in the mines and the surrounding area.

Is it coming straight at where I am now? Are Oraga and Lagann going to be here within one round? Is there more than the one group of slaves I sensed earlier remaining?
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Straight at you, yes. They are, just. There's nine large groups of slaves and a many scattered ones here and there.

Corwin

Seira teleports Lagann and Oraga to the first large group she divined earlier after they toss their captive efreet through the gates, shuts said gates down and then glides through the rock to meet her guest in its natural environment!

Refresh me on your full means of perception here, since you're fighting in a truly unusual medium.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

scent, low-light vision, darkvision, blindsight, tremorsense, true seeing and foresight to avoid being surprised/flat-footed
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Okay, bear in mind that tremorsense will let you pinpoint it's location and attack effectively. However, you're still in solid rock so that's going to block normal vision as well s most spells that aren't touch, because the solid rock blocks line of effect and sight.

Any questions about all this before we begin? This is a complicated enough thing that I feel it's worth hashing out any questions now.
